Orlistat vs Alli: Which Weight Loss Treatment?
Both orlistat and Alli contain the same active ingredient but at different strengths. Prescription orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg are clinically equivalent, blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption. Alli 60mg offers half the dose for those preferring a lower-strength option. All work by inhibiting lipase enzymes in the gut, supporting weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet.
Prescription Orlistat 120mg - Best Value
Generic orlistat 120mg offers the most cost-effective prescription weight loss option. Available in 2-week (£16.89), 4-week (£32.99), 8-week (£63.99) and 12-week (£95.99) supplies. With code EDM10, prices reduce to £15.20, £29.69, £57.59 and £86.39 respectively. Following clinical assessment by our UK-licensed prescribers, orlistat may help reduce fat absorption as part of your weight management programme.
Xenical 120mg - Branded Option
Xenical by Roche contains identical orlistat 120mg but as a branded product. Clinical effects are the same as generic orlistat. Prices start from £21.50 for 2 weeks (£19.35 with EDM10), rising to £128.99 for 12 weeks (£116.09 with EDM10). Some patients prefer the branded option while others choose generic orlistat for value. Your prescriber will discuss which option suits you best.
Alli 60mg - Lower Strength Alternative
Alli provides half the dose of prescription orlistat, potentially with milder gastrointestinal side effects. Priced at £28.99 for 4 weeks (£26.09 with EDM10), £54.99 for 8 weeks (£49.49 with EDM10), or £129.99 for 12 weeks (£116.99 with EDM10). While less potent than 120mg strength, Alli can still support weight management when combined with appropriate dietary changes.
How Our Online Prescription Service Works
Complete our confidential online health questionnaire including medical history, current medications, and BMI information. A qualified UK-licensed prescriber reviews your assessment to determine treatment suitability. If appropriate, your prescription is issued and dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in Leicester. Medication is dispatched with next day delivery in discreet packaging. The prescription is included in our prices - no separate GP appointment needed.
Who May Be Suitable for Treatment
Prescription orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above, or 28 kg/m² with weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Treatment suitability is assessed individually by our prescribers. You must be prepared to follow a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increase physical activity. Results vary between individuals, and long-term success depends on continued lifestyle changes.
